WHAT'S NEXT?

LETS TALK

It all begins with a quick phone call. From there, if it feels like the perfect fit, we’ll plan every detail together to create a session that’s truly personal to your family in a sit down consultation. I want to know your story - what makes your family special - so the artwork we design not only captures your love but fits beautifully into your home and your heart.

YOUR SESSION

From the moment you walk into the studio, everything is taken care of. Your session is fully designed around your family - simple, relaxed, and filled with connection. You’ll snuggle, laugh, and soak in every sweet moment while I gently guide you through it all to create the beautiful artwork you desire. No stressing about what to do - I’ve got you. With 20+ years of experience, I know how to bring out the love in every frame and make sure you look and feel your best.

ORDERING APPOINTMENT

This is the moment your memories come to life. During your ordering appointment, you'll sit back and take it all in as your images are beautifully displayed on the screen for you to enjoy. I’ll walk you through each step - helping you choose your favorite portraits and guiding you toward artwork that fits effortlessly into your home. Together, we’ll create timeless pieces that not only reflect your family's love, but become treasured heirlooms for generations to come.

WHAT'S THE INVESTMENT?

The most common question I get asked is what is the investment?

The truth is the sky's the limit!

This is because we operate with an A La Cart system,  This means you build your collection based on your needs whether it be wall art, a custom album, or finished prints to display individually or to gift to family.

There is a small creation fee of $299 due when you reserve your session date on the calendar. The creation fee covers the time and materials necessary to create your portrait experience. 

The remaining investment isn't determined until you see the photos and we create your custom artwork at the ordering appointment. This is when you invest in your artwork. We do discuss prices in more detail at your consultation and over the phone so you aren't jumping in blind.

Would you like to know more, let's have a quick phone call and I can get an idea of your needs and give you more details on investment options based on your families needs and goals for the pieces you wish to invest in.

SENIORS

Your family deserves more than just phone pics.

In the rush of daily life, it's easy to let time slip by without pressing pause to capture the love and connection you share. Most families have hundreds of snapshots on their phones—but few have portraits that truly reflect who they are.

At Mindful Light Photography, we make the process effortless, stress-free, and actually fun. From the moment you walk into the studio, we guide you through it all—so you can simply show up, be present, and let us do the rest.

Your portraits should be more than digital memories. They should live on your walls, in your heart, and in your home for generations. Let’s create something timeless together.

"100000% recommend Melissa at Mindful light photography goes above and beyond she has been doing our photos for years and recently done my newborn and made us feel at home with lots of laugh and memories during our session." - Savanah Evans

"I absolutely loved working with Melissa with mindful light. She was so kind and patient with me and my family. I have a very busy toddler and Melissa worked so well with him and was accommodating making our photo shoot so relaxed. On top of making our family feel right at home, her talent is impeccable. We are so in love with the photos we obtained from our shoot. She captured our new addition as well as our whole family so perfectly. We are so happy with this photo shoot.10/10 recommend working with Melissa." - Allyson

"Melissa was wonderful and has worked with us on many separate occasions and we have thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. She was always on time; she always had wonderful communication and is a very nice person. She is thoughtful, thorough, and talented. She thinks of things we don't and we have been absolutely blown away by the pictures. We started with a newborn photo session knowing we had one shot at a newborn session and she Nailed It! We were able to relax and enjoy our newborn session from the beginning. The pictures were the most beautiful pictures that we have ever seen. She captured more than what we could have ever hoped for. We followed with 2 Christmas Photo sessions, and Birthday/Family Photo sessions every year since and plan on using her for many more years to come. If you book Melissa for a session, she will take care of everything. Do yourself a favor and use her for any pictures!" - Aaron & Cindy Linenthal - Wirtz, VA

Hi, I’m Melissa — the heart behind Mindful Light Photography.

I specialize in creating timeless, in-studio maternity and newborn portraits for families who believe in the power of preserving the precious, fleeting moments of new life.

As a mom and full-service photographer, I understand how quickly this season passes. That’s why I’m here to make it easy for you — from designing your session to delivering heirloom-quality artwork that captures your baby’s first days in the most beautiful, meaningful way.

With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the honor of photographing hundreds of families and have crafted a process that allows you to feel confident, cared for, and completely at ease. From wardrobe styling and session planning to gentle posing and professional printing, I’ll guide you through every step so you can simply show up and enjoy the moment.

My studio in Rocky Mount, VA is a peaceful, curated space where you can slow down, breathe, and focus on what matters most: your growing family.

Each baby is a miracle, and I see it as my calling to capture the love, joy, and wonder you feel the moment you hold your little one in your arms.

Let’s create something you’ll treasure forever.
